Is this kitty play house easy to tip over? How easy is it to remove your cat when it is time to go inside?

My kitty has not tipped it over. It's easy to put up and take down. Easy to take them out, just unzip the door in front.

the product comes with rope on all sides of the tent so it can be roped down if need be because of weather otherwise no it does not easily fall to the sides and regarding your cat it just depends on the cat mine comes out when I call her

I've only used this twice so far. *Shipping took forever. It does seem stable and it comes with stakes to secure it to the yard if you're on grass. My cat enjoyed being outdoors and didn't seem upset by being inside the tube / tent (for background, my cat is ornery so I worried she would hate it). It was not difficult to get her out either. It is a good sized tent so you may have to get in after your cat, but the tube and the house collapse on your action, so it is not hard to "force" the cat out.

My monsters haven't turned it over, which is a wonder, but the wind did during a trial of not using the stakes. The stakes are necessary and are easy to use.

From my experience so far this thing is not easy to tip over - it's very wide on the bottom and narrows at the top (like a tent). Also, I had no trouble removing my cat. I would just open it and reach in and grab him. But it's big enough that you could get inside there with him to grab him if you really needed to.

I have never seen the cathouse tip over but I suppose itf my cat threw all off his weight up against the side of it it may tip. There are no issues removing your cat from the house, the doors just unzip and you reach in.

The playhouse has a very large base, like a pop-up tent. Also comes with tie downs and pouches for weights but we have not had to use them so far. We are just very carful when we put her in and out so she does not run away. We keep the playhouse on our deck for her. No problem so far. She really loves the tunnel part of playhouse. Just FYI, we also bought the cat stroller. Unbelievable how much our cat loves it. She is always sitting in it wanting to go outside. Hope this helps.

They include 2 stakes so you can pin it to the ground if needed and I doubt it is tall enough to tip over since it is quite wide. It may be annoying since the bottom is mesh their nails can get stuck so we put a blanket in the bottom. Also since our cats have not gotten used to it yet they have no issues in wanting to leave but it is not difficult to climb halfway in and grab them if needed.

It isn't secured by anything to the ground but the shape and heaviness of it makes it hard to move. I put my dog and cat in there and it never moves. Maybe put a couple of heavy toys or items in it if worried. Great playhouse! They use it all the time and even indoors.

My cats don't have problem with it. Our youngest cat found out to stick his paw up the shoot and now the other is doing it. I have ours placed on a shelf, In a corner location. They haven't knocked it off yet. If you have a dog who is mischievous or curious this might be a problem. Our cats hear the food being dispensed they stop whatever they're doing and run to eat. I have it set up for two times a day morning and afternoon. I would buy it again. The batteries last 6-9 months.

The item is not "flimsy", but it is lightweight as is any room divider of this type. I don't own a cat but assume that it could, if it chose, knock it over easily. It really is an attractive addition to a room. Amazon has stands for room dividers in different colors. If interested, type in those key words and have a look. Good luck

No! It's very sturdy! My cat likes to dip his paw into the water to test it but it would be very difficult for him to tip bowl over

It is very sturdy. It might be a little top heavy, but I don't think a cat can push it over. BTW my ratties love it.

Don't get it!!! It tips over too easily!! It is too top heavy! I never used it once! It scared my cat and I was scared it could injure my cat

It is quite sturdy. As stated in my review a couple of my cats will run and jump on it and jump off. I have several cats and have only seen it knocked over once. That was due to rough playing. Normal scratching should not be an issue. It is on the heavy side as well.

Our cats don't seem to be able to tip is over or move it much. They would have to be outside the kittywalk to move it much at all. The wind in Nevada has tipped it over a couple times but it's easy to right it. Our pieces along with the 2 tower sections make it about 10 feet long and it doesn't move much at all unless it's very windy.

If the cats are a bit frisky it would fall over. It is more of a piece of art vs. a screen. I enjoy the dimension it adds to my room but it is not the sturdiest piece of furniture!

I think it's fairly easy. I used to have a very difficult cat who hated being placed in a carrier. While still tough it was possible to get her in. My other cat is difficult but not as difficult. He's a big kitty. While it still takes a little wrangling it's doable. I don't think there is a perfect carrier out there for those of us who have cats who are difficult to handle. I like this one though. Of course, I don't know how difficult your cat is compared to mine. You can always return it if it doesn't work out.

Yes, it's really quite easy to fold. I LOVE it and kitty does too. She sits and looks out as I walk her all over the neighborhood. Keeps her safe.

No, My kitten had could climb the poles but my 15 lb cat couldn't. I moved mine next to my desk so he could climb on my desk then jump to the housing. When I called Kitty Mansion regarding this problem they were no help. They both use the housing and upper part less because no easy access

In my opinion it doesn't tip easily, but a determined cat could probably knock it over.

This one is not easily knocked over. I have 6 cats + 8 kittens and quite a few of them like to paw at the water. It would take all their might to push this thing, but the base is so wide and heavy (ceramic) that I don 't think they could ever tip it.

The cats cannot tip it over. First there are outriggers to stabilize the tower. Also the netting is on all sides so if it did tip the cat would still be enclosed. My cats love it. I put a cat tree in the tower that they can sit on.

My puppy (6 lbs) was able to collapse it and tip it over to escape, so I would say your cat could do the same.
